    Amazing prefix menu for valentine’s Day , the best I’ve ever had! I’m not a fan of duck but really enjoyed my husband’s that he ordered which is saying something and he said it’s the best duck he has ever had! I’ve had many meals here but I think this may have been the best! We did the wine pairing which was perfect as well!

    What an amazing experience in the igloos outside during winter. They were warm and we could connect to Bluetooth to play our own music. It over looked the Grand River and offered beautiful views. We received VIO treatment the moment we pulled up in our car. Hannah our server was gracious and so kind. She went above and beyond to deliver us a hot chocolate experience for my mother. All of the food and drinks were delicious and warm. We will definitely be coming back here again! I highly recommend this place. ❤️
